The fact that heat is a factor could point towards water in the brake system. It's
'vapor-locking' in effect. If the brakes were serviced and the problem started after
that, I would check all points of connection for the slightest sign of leaking. Brake
fluid has the unusual property of attracting water. If it does so, it will get in the
system and when under pressure, boil or vaporize, generally minimizing effectiveness,
ie; no brakes.
You may wish to have them flushed again, perhaps by a different shop or mechanic. If
there are no failing parts, in theory, the problem should go away.
Cheers.
